Well what the hell are they doing? These are our elected officials and they are not doing their job. For god’s sake I am a 70 year old grandmother and I have to lay my life on the line? For fucks sake!!!!!!
They’re not gonna do anything. They’re just gonna cry about it. In the meantime, Rubio has made a deal with the president of El Salvador to send immigrants that have been picked up and criminals from the US to be housed in El Salvador. That’s right! American citizens to be imprisoned in El Salvador.
Democrats, especially @schumer.senate.gov need to start doing something to stop Musk & Trump. Stop tweeting and fundraising off this. Take him to court. Stop voting with Repubs.
Message to democrats and Americans.
Trump has declared the "Constitution unconstitutional".
The courts Immunity claim applies to the Executive which only exist as a construct of the Constitution.
Raskin, AOC and a few others are actually making noise and out there putting their butts on the line. Stop hiding behind tweets. You're the big kahuna - why aren't you out there too?
The day is rapidly approaching when a court orders Trump & Co. To cease doing something or do something, and he refuses to comply. And there will be no one to compel him.
Thank goodness. I have been screaming that DOGE does not have the authority to do anything more than what the US Digital Services Dept was assigned. All they did was a name change. they can't change its role without bringing it before Congress which give the Dems the ability to filibuster it.
I’m seriously pressed to see what power, if any the Dems have rn. The GOP has disappeared & remains in hiding. The majority has to convene sessions on this. 💔💔
Keeping these aged-out politicians is why we're in this disaster, they have zero relativity in today's reality! Tweeting and conformity is far easier than strong values and real actions. It's time to vote these old-timers out of office!
Yeah no authority, but all the power. It was voted away, given away, or taken and now all you guys can really do is show moderate outrage on social media.
He is ignoring the court order to stop the freeze. I think a restraining order might help slow things down. They are enforced by US Marshalls. Maybe @schumer.senate.gov could be so bold as to ask a court for one? Or maybe @warren.senate.gov or maybe even that old law-abider Mitch McConnell or Thune
Congressional Democrats must block MAGA nominees as long as Trump continues to empower bogus, unaccountable “administration officials” who apparently operate outside any congressional oversight.
JFC. Why aren’t these assholes doing speeches in rural areas telling people how these EOs are going to screw them? Touch grass and go talk to a constituency.
No one is following Chuck Schumer on twitter other than reporters, Carnegie deli, trolls, and Russian porn bots.
Democratic leadership is pathetic. I wonder what kind of stock trades Schumer and these other Senate codgers have lined up to take advantage of this crisis?
I am a senior WTH many concerns, but right now I cannot believe what Musk is doing. None of these guys have been vetted nor have security clearances. What do we do.
Funny. They keep saying someone needs to do something.
And they keep saying it’s illegal.
And the last time I checked, the way to do something about somebody doing something illegal is to have them arrested - forcibly, if they refuse to surrender.
Wesss, thanks for steering the discussion logically. Republicans hold power because the majority voted for it. All Democrats can do now is inform the voters who made this choice so they can take action. The fight is in the people's hands.
They do have other options. Think McConnell during Obama’s presidency. It’s also great that they are now starting to ring alarm bells, but in a true functional democracy with an opposition party, those alarm bells would’ve been ringing at trumps first few illegal executive orders.
Somebody find that GOP tweet that suggests they are okay with how things are going. So if you're expecting "The Congress" to do something, it doesn't sound like they are onboard.
Tell us , Chuck, when is this congressional action supposed to start? I see unions suing, FBI agents suing, but no real action from congress or Senate. I realize y'all are in the minority but you still have ways to stall any actions this bunch throws at the world until the courts intervene.
Remember even after the Mueller report detailed obstruction of justice and even after two years of flagrant violations of the emoluments clause, Congressional Dems didn't want to start impeachment hearings. They only did so when Trump went directly at Biden. Which was weak tea, comparatively.
Musk and billionaires are trying to dismantle our entire government to create a technocratic society in which each “zone” is run by a corporation. Trump is the CEO. New currency will be crypto and all rights will be stripped.
You know, Jerry Nadler is giving up his seat as the senior Dem on the Judiciary Cmte. and nominating Jamie Raskin to take his place. He's reading the room and preserving his legacy. That's how it's done.
I wish someone would whisper into Chuck Schumer’s ear and tell him to stop tweeting and actually do something. The tweeting coupled with inaction just accentuates his lack of effectiveness. Time to move on Chuck.
Here we go. He was complicit in the BS the first time and he'll be complicit this time. Just gonna tweet about it, fundraise, and campaign for the midterms so they can do nothing but take some more lobby money and get some more insider trading information. Do nothing assholes.
Congress should have ALREADY called in police/military to drag the traitors out by their hair and bring charges against them. They are blatantly breaking the law.
DOGE has no authority to access the personal data of private citizens. DOGE is NOT sanctioned by Congress as a contractor, much less a "department." File a lawsuit against Elon Musk. PERSONALLY! He is acting of his own accord. Sue HIM! A class action of 70 million taxpayers would bankrupt him!

Nowhere in is there a suggestion on how to stop
It
We all know the actions are illegal
Does Schumer realize he is Congress?
Tone deaf man

What do they call Schumer-- Molasses?
It’s not me, it’s not @thetnholler.bsky.social, anyone else a senate minority leader?
Who are you talking to?
You're in congress.
Action!!
i've been advocating for sidelining him, Pelosi, among others, for years now.
but this tweet was actually okay. it just should have showed up last week followed by him walking into USAID with reporters & staff
these are relics of old paradigms, politics, and protocols.
still. i take the help where i can get it.
Backwards and in heels.
Democrats still worried about appearances?
NOW is the time when appearances matter most!
Show up and fight regardless of winning or losing.
Fight for America’s existence.
Make Some Noise.
GET YOUR SENATORS IN LINE.
While some say the DNC doesn't have the votes, Trump will almost invariably alienate people, and it can be used as a tool of leverage to reign him in.
Don't ask us for another goddamn dime until you get Musk's hands off of our damn personal info
Doesn't know *anybody* with clout or power in the Senate... 🙄😵💫

Isn't the Senate one of the houses of Congress?
I heard you have some sway there.
Hello?
Do it!!
I'm going to call it the, 'I know I Can Do It' potion # 11. I don't know why "11", but I just will 😁
You're one of my top resources for news!

It's a shame Chuck Schumer doesn't know anyone in Congress.

Musk reports anybody who opposes the 🍊 agenda would be blocked on the platform.
Congressmen reports this rhetoric on said platform.
Blue checkmark, ummmm. Interesting!!!
They tried to impeach and remove him, at least *twice*.
It sounds like you want something more.
Please direct your ire towards the leaders of each branch of the military, who have abrogated their duty to defend the Constitution from mad kings.
And they keep saying it’s illegal.
And the last time I checked, the way to do something about somebody doing something illegal is to have them arrested - forcibly, if they refuse to surrender.
There ARE Capital Hill Cops, which congress would presumably have some authority over.
Chuck:
“We need to avoid that iceberg or we’ll die. I will organize a committee to consider action.”
“The iceberg fElon deliberately hit isn’t allowed to sink us. I may send a strongly worded letter.”
“Nazis are destroying all the lifeboats, see memo.”
“Glub, glub, glub…”
He's required to churn out copy and he's not being given useful guidance.
But no, this doesn't make Schumer look good in the slightest.

Shut down the Senate. Use every tactic. Pull the fire alarm. Do you have any fight in you?
There is a coup going on. Do you think your “deliberative process” is going to stop it?
Wake up!
But Hey! We've got some good ones in the pipeline, don't let go of HOPE. 🙏
They were fired up and appeared to actually want to do something about it.
